Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for foliage. |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care, Compact Form |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Tolerates Urban Pollution |
| Growth Rate | Slow |
| Growth Habit | Rounded |
| Landscape Use | Container, Poolside |
| Design Ideas | The smaller size of Japanese maples, and when they bear season long foliage color become a most valuable tree for home landscapes. No other tree conveys the Asian or Japanese garden character to a landscape whether traditional or a spare zen-like modern design. But these maples also belong in natural groves of much larger trees because the shelter of high canopies ensure they attain their richest foliage hues. Their preference for acidic soils also make them perfectly adapted to grow within the influence of needled evergreens. Smaller stature is excellent for foundation beds around homes and in naturalistic drifts of landscape. They are ideal for urban gardens where plants are protected by buildings from wind and sun. Maples even do well in large containers for porch, patio or terrace. |
| Flower Color | Purple |
| Foliage Color | Red |
| Companion Plants | Azalea (Azalea); Hosta (Hosta); Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa); Rhododendron (Rhododendron); Astilbe (Astilbe) |
| Care Instructions | Provide slightly acidic, well-drained soil; shelter from drying winds. Avoid harsh afternoon sun exposures in hot summer areas. Mulch to keep root zone cool. Water deeply, regularly during first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Lore | This maple and its cultivars are essentials of the Japanese tea gardens. Its vivid leaves are considered to be the flowers of autumn. Maple is balanced in spring with the flowering cherries, which together are the quintessential symbols of seasonal cha |
